Hi, I am another IT guy
I work now as a Database Administrator in the financial business with 9 to 10 years of experience, mostly MS SQL. But I have a background of Server administration (Windows and Linux) and Networking, and I am really a geek for technology in general, is my work and my hobby as well.
Keep looking up!1 -
Romulus said:I'm a Brit now residing in the US for the past 20 years. I work in IT as a Database Architect.
My main hobbies are doing Flight Simulation and tinkering with home automation and other gadgets.
Which Flight Sim @Romulus ? I used to be heavily into MS Flight SIM, and lucked into their beta program for years (Up until the "X" version). Kind of stopped when MS dropped out of the business. I hear Microsoft might be coming back into the Flight SIM world which means I might need to head to the attic and break back out the gear...

I have a love\hate relationship with it. It the best of the alternatives, but I do find it so annoying at the best of times. I've written an awful amount of documentation in Confluence and I learnt to hate it. I recently press ganged my minions into taking over the documentation, so I guess I'm starting to love it again!Milo said:People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.1 -

I'm a Network consultant with many years working for Network vendors such as Bay Networks, Nortel, Extreme Networks, etc. I qualified as one of the first CCIEs in Europe (#1161) and love netting to do with computer networking. Right now, I'm semi-retired but work on average 2 days a week providing freelance consulting to customers and partners. I was one of the initial supports FingBox, which is happy deployed in my home network doing it's stuff :=)0

I once lost a week of my life trying to set up a Jira project. I eventually gave up after getting lost lost in all the dependencies that I lost all track of what it was I really wanted.Marc said:Let’s not forget other tools like JIRA. We spend more time working on a working model for using these things. 🤔

Hi Guys,
I'm a Prosthetist (I make artificial limbs). I worked clinically for almost 3 decades before moving into a teaching/training/sales/support role for a German multinational who makes the components we use.
My hobbies include soap making and, more recently, home automation.

Glad it's not just me, @Pooh. I instantly thought "ooooh, that sounds like the character description for a modern remake of Fight Club".

My principle profession is real estate. I've been a commercial and residential real estate appraiser for over 40 years. Used to be a broker too but left that behind. I'm also a professional photographer, principally motorsports. I gave up shooting full time in 2008 but I still shoot IndyCar part-time. Hobbies include computers and music.

What a fantastic & diverse community of Fingsters - I see a lot of fellow IT Pros ;-) My role is IT & Operational Support Specialist for Cloud5 Communications. I even work with some hardware/software/services from some names I see above. We are the only total solutions provider in the hospitality biz with our US side offering everything telephony related from HSiA, PBX, software solutions, etc.. I'm part of the Canadian side of the company working with a handful of great colleagues to manage Contact Center IT for several sites with Reservation Agents who provide customer service booking/modifying for these same Hospitality leaders. I am also lucky enough to work remotely from my home which is awesome because I rarely have to wear pants ;-)1
